Default video card driver broken

[Angelo Borsotti]

I have upgraded from 11.04 to 11.10. 11.10 comes with a default video driver that does not work
on a computer that has a Nvidia video card. The desktop freezes to that there is no way out
except by switching off the computer. I then installed the proprietary Nvidia driver thru the
Ubuntu Softare Center, and have solved the problem. I think that the upgrade tool should check
that the computer has a Nvidia card and install its driver instead of installing the default one.

Angelo Borsotti, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ .

If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in the development release from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report:

apport-collect -p xserver-xorg-video-nouveau REPLACE-WITH-BUG-NUMBER

Please note, given that the information from the prior release is already available, doing this on a release prior to the development one would not be helpful.

Thank you for your understanding.
